There it a hitch somewhere. Secretary Teller wants a talking to. He is cutting the thing too fat. The continental peace congress movement is likely to bring up Blaine Presidential stock. String flowers have struck Boston Com mon and it is crowing its lilt'e bantam crow over Central Park, New York. The Slate of New York is about to put Niagara Falls in the hands of five commis sioners with a view to saving the scenery and preventing further depredations on the banks of the river. An estimate is to be made of the cost of putting its preservation upon a permanent footing and making important Im provements. Thr New York doctors are waltzing around Blackwell's island on account of a case of leprosy which is undergoing a great deal of diagnosing from points more or less remote. Quarantine and lazaretto are the regulations in view. There is too much of the medical dude about these in place of the old fashioned allopathic thing. It was thought prohibition in liquor traffic would jump everything in Michigan, clear the house tops, and scoot over the State like a Mississippi cyclone. But it is not so. The Senate is throwing up barricad.es, but it is still believed both hous-s will come to lea, It may yet be no use trying to get any kind of n stick in your lemonade, after 1S84, in Michigan. It is known that Governor Butler, of Mass- achutetts, greatly affects Harvard's degree of I.L.D., which is uiually conferred on Gov ernort of the commonwealth. It being thus to some extent an imprescriptible right, it is not supposed his turbulent excellency will be made an exception. Gubernatorial elections in Massachusetts are annual, and with his new degree we are salinfied Dr. Butler will take the State for another year, and perhaps run it altogether. A JEWEL NKW SET. Mrs. Langtry's performance of Galatea in New York is pronounced a remarkable suc cess, lhis 11 gratifying because, although Mrs. Langtry has had many successes and may in a general way be considered a success ful woman, yet this we believe is her first pro nounced dramatic success in this country. It is not' surprising that Mrs. Langtry should have made a beautiful statue, but when the marble Galatea is called to life, it is said, she played with a power which denoted talents to which she has not yet seriously resorted. We now have hopes that the will become a suc cessful artiste, as well as woman. The pas sions are the actor's capital n trade, and we can easily understand that a woman, cele brated and siught for her beauty, may easily hare her pasilonal interests engrossed by the affairs of real life, and have no intense, pow erful and stirring emotional ability for the mimic ttage. Pride, vanity, ambition, love, envy, jealousy, when signally demonstrative in the hemisphere ol the actual, reserve none of their energies for the uses of the other, That an actress of so many personal charms at Mrs. Linrjtry should develop their equiva lents In grace, beauty and vigor of mind, is much more to be desired than tuch develop ment In one who is without them. The world will luxuriate in the consciousness of a two-fold glory, and the artiste and actress in the possession ol a two-fold power. But it is Id'e to expect from the highest gifts of the actress the artiste's perfect triumph without diligent study and (he impetuous surrender of the passional forces to the course of art. Mrs. Langtry gives assurance in Galatea that all she requires is to be capable ol such effort. IIKADI.AUOII STAYS Till: CHUItCll OK KNOI.ANI). After having permitted Bradlaugh to ob tain a very wide, unwise anil unnecessary rep utation by an opposition of senseless bigotry and intolerance, Mr. Gladstone has yielded an unqualified support to the affirmation bill, so that the refractory Liberal will take his seat in Parliament, and the whole result ol the miserable controversy will have been to make a marked and influential character of him which he would never have made of him self, and to awaken a wider hostility to the church of England and the factious denomi nations that pin piety lo a formula and would have even a bagnio conducted on a basis of fanatacism. It has become possible to adul terate everything but a bigot. How it comes that these churches or the interests of religion are supposed to be served by the form ol an oath, or how the impression comes to prevail, in these latter diy., even in the churches that oaths impose any restraint upon any persons in Parliament, or else where, excepting those who do not require oiths to restrain them, Is lo be accounted for only by that measureless blindness and sel fishness which are common to religion in England, and everywhere else. It fail to see that Mr. Uradlaugh's scruples about taking the oath are a game in politics which only the aid it brings, by taking the idiot's hand, could make successful, or popular. If churches, the world over, would learn Chris tianity and scour from their bibles the sordid rust of creed, and abolish the wretched dog mas of virtual unbelief, the Bradlaughs of England and Ingersolls of America Would do less sensational splurging, while the churches would themselves acquire a better reputation. We have a millionaire, or the son of a mil lionaire, named Astor, for our Minister to Rome, who refused, lately, to lendhis United States flag to the young artists of that city at the 400th anniversary of Raphael's birthday. lie refused the flag and. also, lo honor the occasion with his presence on the ground that "difficulties might orisc between the Italian Government and our own." The young fellows smiled a Roman smile and are wondering whether this model diplomat drinks, or if it is only the booby coming out on him. In THE Illinois House of Representatives there is one member holds the balance of power. His infallible guide in legislation is the stomach, and keeping that important and refactory member regulated occupies most ol his time. He is a decided prohibitionist from policy when not perfectly sober, but at other times, with a smiling self-consciousness of being his own master, he goes against any rettraint upon the liberties of the citizen on principle, and votes against his party. We think he is primarily a Republican and, on uncertain occasions, returns to first prin ciples. A Proclamation.
